Title: BP Multi mod.ini icon
Post by: General Battuta on May 31, 2011, 03:20:17 pm: The pic is cool but the font isn't. Swap from yellow to something else, and try the Gunship font (it's used on UEF ship nameplates).

Post by: bigchunk1 on May 31, 2011, 07:00:36 pm: I'm open to improved versions of the mod.ini if anyone wants to submit one.

The font used is from the list of MS word stock fonts. I don't have much invested in it. I just went for something that looked decent and was legible.

A fontless version of the pic is in this pack (http://www.mediafire.com/?xp36s321k25oxys). It was made just prior to the logo upload. It's #4.

Because everyone needs options.

Post by: Darius on May 31, 2011, 10:15:36 pm: Change the blue text into something else and it'll work (seriously, 0000FF doesn't go well with any other colour that's not pure blue, pure red or pure green)

Good ol Kentauroi blasting away! Made in Photoshop with custom font, some effects, etc.

Edit: Repositioned the Kent, and the text. I left the other one up for comparison purposes though I think this one looks better.

Post by: Shivan Hunter on June 01, 2011, 07:27:20 pm: The last one by Darius and Antares's are both very good.

SDM, look at the last two again. the first is the only one which doesn't completely blend into the background, and even on the first the text doesn't really stand out.

Post by: MatthTheGeek on June 02, 2011, 05:01:58 am: If you want to make an icon with the Kent, at least do it with the optimized one, not the crappy-looking one.

Post by: bigchunk1 on June 02, 2011, 06:54:52 am: I really like the colors involved with the Kent logo. I also like what Darius did with the font for the current logo. SDM, i'd go for something like that if the font were more readable. That 3rd image looks trippy. You're all making decisions difficult! :P nice going

Post by: bigchunk1 on June 08, 2011, 01:35:14 pm: Just updated the mod.ini to the better font Darius provided. Also added Zalem's image to the highlight to add some variety spice.
